i leard on the inside of a turn or you could just slow the boat speed down to like 14 mph. then just practice the reverse sideslide, turn toeside only try and kick your rear foot out to break the fin loose. practice that until you can slide it 10-15 foot easy.then the handle pass is easy, just start the slide then reach for the handle. this took me a weekend to learn it consistantly.to make it into a 3 you can just ride switch for a second and then do a surface 180 or i just complete the blind 180 then lean back and spin the 360 altogether. it is not that hard of a trick to learn, i actully did a surface 3 on accident when trying to do the blind surface 180.good luck and keep trying.

I learned mine just getting out into the flats, do a powerslide and with your back to the boat make the handle pass, then bring it on around....get on your toes, that frees the fin so your board can slide.....
